Abstract

Context: Overfishing has been historically considered as the main cause of fish stock depletion in the Magdalena River basin, Colombia, whereas the environmental context in which fisheries take place has not been considered.

Aims: The purpose of this research was to answer the following question: have anthropic activities, other than fishing, influenced the decrease in fishery production in the Magdalena River basin between 1980 and 2015?

Methods: We analysed diverse variables that were used as proxies for different environmental degradation processes, including sediment load, forest cover, flow rates, reservoir volume <1200 m above sea level, gold production and human population growth. We compared these variables with fishery production between 1980 and 2015 by using cluster analysis, principal-component analysis (PCA) and principal-component regression (PCR).

Key results: Our findings confirmed that environmental degradation accounts for 61% of the reduction of fishery production.

Conclusions: The traditional approach of holding fishers accountable for the decline of fishery production is misleading, and, therefore, a better understanding of the overall system is necessary before implementing restrictions on fishing activities.

Implications: Hence, fishery management should also integrate economic and social variables that affect ecosystem services within the basin into the analysis and decision processes.

Keywords: anthropogenic activities, environmental quality, inland fisheries, inland water, migratory species, overfishing, pressure factors, tropical fisheries.
